Recipes of the Week - October 26th

Baked Celeriac (from Saturday night's dinner)
One celeriac root with top
Shredded cheese (any variety)

Wash & clean the celeriac root and cut into thin slices to make "chips". In a small rectangular pan, line the bottom of the pan with the wet celeraic top (it acts like a steaming agent and prevents them from sticking to the bottom). Take the hollow stems and dice like green onions. Place the root chips on top of the celeriac tops, sprinkle with the diced stems & top with shredded cheese. Bake at 325ºF for about 15 minutes. Tastes great!
